"In the next day or two Frodo went though his papers and his writings with Sam, and he handed over his keys. There was a big book with plain red leather covers; its tall pages were now almost filled. At the beginning there were many leaves covered in Bilbo's thin wandering hand; but most of it was written in Frodo's firm flowing script. It was divided into chapters, but chapter 80 was unfinished, and after that there were some blank leaves...'Why, you have nearly finished it, Mr. Frodo!' Sam exclaimed. 'Well, you have kept at it, I must say.' 'I have quite finished Sam,' said Frodo. 'The last pages are for you.'..."

The legacy of Master Samwise, The Return of the King

Today's #middleearthmarch prompt is "Even the smallest: Smallest books." I do not own any pocket copies, so I have interpreted this cue a little bit differently!
.
The unfinished eightieth chapter that Frodo gives to Samwise is, in its own way, a small book. Perhaps it is even the story with the greatest impact.
.
A true storyteller doesn't just recite a tale, they make it come alive. Pieces of the teller are woven into the fabric of the words, binding it both to memory and heart.
.
This was the mantle that Samwise carried. His part of the story goes on, inspiring the generations that come after him. To be back again, it seems, is the most poignant part.
